When in the near future, the people of Chang'an and the counties of the world and the countries of the four seas will come to Chang'an, they will deeply remember a rule, in addition to strictly prohibiting the carrying of swords and weapons outside the Weiyang Palace, there is also a place where it is absolutely forbidden to fight with their blades.

Mortals are a species that does not have a long memory, and the cultivation of the rules of the world sometimes requires strict legal constraints or forced enforcement like an example to ensure the majesty of power.

However, there are times when it doesn't need to be so troublesome, just an iron-clad warning is enough. For example, that night, the bloody clash that took place in the small square outside the gate of Changle Houfu was that from that night on, the place bounded by three crossbow arrows became an invisible forbidden area.

In the years to come, no matter what kind of psychology people pass by, the look of awe in their eyes is undisguised. There is no other reason, just because in the moonlight and sword light that night, someone swore by blood and sword, and left a sentence here.

"From today onwards, no matter what the purpose, anyone who dares to show his blade here will be killed!"

Most of the people who came after had only heard the legend of that night. Not many people really know the details and where they came from. However, in the gradual circulation of some exaggerations, we all know who this sentence comes from.

The hussar general, who crossed the northwestern sky like a meteor and made the Xiongnu steppe and the Western Desert tremble, although he later disappeared from the imperial army for unknown reasons. But the feats and legends it built have long been immortal.

When Huo Quzhi, who stood proudly, said this sentence with the momentum of looking at everything, no one noticed that there were actually several new injuries on top of her old injuries.

In the night, after the red glow of the Red Fire Sword cut off the offensive of the cavalry in front of him, Huo Qubing was actually not too enjoyable to kill. In her simple thoughts, she really wanted to take this opportunity to use her ability to deter anyone who dared to plot against the Hou Mansion and Master.

It's just that the Yulin Army, which came as fast as possible at the emperor's behest, finally arrived at the last moment. If they were a little bit late, the unruly owner of the Red Fire Sword would most likely break through the army and sacrifice his life to kill Li Xuanji!

And the general of the Nine Gates on the opposite side also had the same thoughts. When he saw that Huo Quai, who was so bold and daring, dared to openly kill the soldiers and horses of the Nine Gates in Chang'an City, he knew that the hatred between him and this person could not be resolved, either you died or I died!

Within a quarter of an hour, the casualties of nearly 100 cavalry under his command made people have to marvel, the main general of the Red Fire Army, who has repeatedly created miracles on the battlefield, is invincible even if he fights on a single horse!

When he looked a little like Yuan Zhao in the middle of the vertical and horizontal killings, Li Xuanji, who was angry, ordered the hundreds of horsemen around him to take out crossbow arrows. Since the other party is so stubborn, don't blame yourself for being ruthless. As a general, even if you are powerful, what about it? Under the accumulation of the nine-armed chain crossbow, the custody shoots people into hedgehogs!

Yuan Yi and the others, who were strictly guarding the movements around the high wall, saw it clearly, and their hearts were horrified, and they hurriedly shouted a warning, asking Huo Qubing to retreat into the mansion immediately, and avoid the crossbow arrows for the time being.

It was at such a critical moment that the 1,000-feather forest army led by Han Yan arrived at a gallop. Han Yan, who saw the situation clearly at a glance, directly led the people to the middle ground, isolating the two sides.

Chang'an Ling Ren Kuan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and rushed over. Before he got closer, he had already heard Han Yan's loud shout.

"According to the emperor's order, the soldiers and horses of the Nine Gates quickly returned to the camp, and they must not fall into a private fight in Chang'an City!"

Ryoma took a few steps back, Huo Quzhi calmly withdrew his long sword, still at the bottom of the steps in front of the mansion, gently wiping away the blood droplets splashed on her forehead, although she really wanted to kill Li Xuanji now, but she also knew the priority, and in the case that the master had not returned, it was the most important thing to protect the safety of the Hou Mansion from violation. Now that the Yulin Army has arrived, it is expected that Li Xuanji will not dare to be so crazy again. If he continues to refuse, then she doesn't mind a surprise attack and a sudden kill!

Li Xuanji really refused to give up. He looked at Han Yan with a cold face, and said with hatred in his words.

"His Majesty the Emperor probably doesn't know what's going on here, right? Nearly 100 casualties among my men, plus the blood debt committed in the Northern Army's camp Yuanzhao...... If this account is not clear, I am afraid that these thousands of sons and daughters will not agree! Hum! I have the Son of Heaven Sword in my hand, but I can punish you first and report later! General Han flashed to the side first, so he didn't have to delay too long. When the time comes, I will naturally go to His Majesty and personally plead guilty! ”

Han Yan didn't answer his words, but waved his hand and ordered the Yulin Army to protect the Changle Houfu. Then he looked at Li Xuanji's soldiers and horses, and then glanced at Feng Yanzhi, Jiang Chong, Chang'an Ling Ren Kuan and others who came nearby, and laughed coldly.

"How...... Li Xuanji: Do you want to resist the decree? With the Yulin Army here, what else do you want? ”

The mockery in Han Yan's tone could be heard by anyone. Everyone didn't expect that this handsome emperor's close minister would be so biased and directly stood on the side of the Hou Mansion.

Li Xuanji was furious! Although he also relied on nepotism to rise, he was very unaccustomed to the favored ministers around these emperors. Hearing him dare to say this to his face, how can he bear it.

Just as he was about to have a seizure, he suddenly felt a gaze from the side. When he looked sideways, he saw that the face of the Great Commander of Xifengwei was uncertain, and he secretly made a gesture that made him endure for the time being.

Li Xuanji had already seen the figure of Feng Yan who came with the Yulin Army, and he was secretly happy in his heart, thinking that he was here to help him. didn't expect him to do this, not only did he keep silent, but also signaled himself to stop, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised in his heart.

He didn't know that Feng Yanzhi now had words of suffering in his heart. His Majesty the Emperor actually wanted to appoint this Jiang Chong, who had never heard of him, as the commander of the embroidered clothes and set up the guards. The meaning behind this is self-evident. Xi Fengwei's status and power will gradually decline from now on.

What made him even more suspicious was why the emperor had sent him with him. And it's with Jiang Chong...... What considerations or deep meanings are there, he has thought about it along the way, and he hasn't thought it through.

The anxiety in his heart made him have no heart to help Li Xuanji cope with the scene in front of him. What's more, he thinks that Li Xuanji has been too reckless this time, and he should hurry down the steps given by the emperor, tomorrow will be long, why rush at this time!

"General Lee, General Han...... A few days later, Chang'an City will usher in a once-in-a-century grand occasion! At this critical time, we must not make too much of a mess. I don't think His Majesty the Emperor would want to see that happen...... Let's stop there! ”

Ren Kuan finally got a chance to speak. He looked anxiously at the people on several sides, and very much wished that they would go their separate ways, and that nothing would have happened after dawn.

"It's not difficult for me to quit the army, it's just the soldiers who have been killed and wounded under my men...... Someone has to be in charge! ”

Li Xuanji's tone finally eased. He looked at Huo Quai, who was more than ten feet away, with a murderous face. However, he didn't wait for Han Yan to say anything. I had already heard the great enemy on the other side say in a proud tone.

"You relied on your soldiers and horses to drive them to the Hou Mansion to make trouble, you should have been damned...... From today onwards, no matter what the purpose, anyone who dares to show his blade here will be killed! ”

Whether it was the Nine Gate Cavalry, the Yulin Army in the palace, or the people lurking in the darkness around them, they all heard this sentence clearly. Such a tone is really arrogant! This is the first thought that comes to everyone's mind.

In the midst of the shock, no one noticed that in the darkness around the corner of the street, someone sighed softly. It seems to be both relieved and a little pity.

"Master Hou! Why didn't you let us go and help fight ...... just now?"

Zhao Yuan's voice was very low, and not long after he led all the forces in his hand from the side of Mingyue Tower, the conflict in front of the Hou Mansion began. He immediately pulled out his sword, and he was going to lead everyone to rush out, even if it was a desperate battle, he would never let anyone break into the gate of the Hou Mansion.

However, a figure that suddenly appeared stopped them. When they saw the faces of the visitors clearly in the hazy light, everyone couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

"Hehe, for no other reason. All of our lives are precious, and when we don't have to make unnecessary sacrifices, we should try to avoid them. In such a scene, it is enough to get sick alone...... What's more, isn't the Yulin Army already here? ”

In the faint moonlight, Yuan Zhao was still dressed in plain white clothes. Under his flat smile, in fact, no one knows the sadness in his heart. When he returned this time, the people around him had already died too much for himself, and he didn't want to see them suffer one more casualties!

Dressed in white, he entered Chang'an, just to remember and remember. Those who died for Him will be with Him from this moment on. Their loyalty and support will never be forgotten in his heart. Let's go to battle together! Whether it's black clouds and evil waves, or wind and rain, ......!

Hearing Huo Qu's unruly words, Li Xuanji and many of the soldiers under his command were simply furious. Blood and revenge, maybe you shouldn't have to worry about reason anymore!

"Han Yan, Ren Kuan! You've all heard it...... Such an arrogant person, even if he fights for His Majesty's punishment of the Emperor, he will stain this Hou Mansion with blood today! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a voice behind him. The words are not high, but they penetrate the night and reach the ears.

"The so-called injustice has a head, and the debtor has a master. Li Xuanji, no matter what kind of hatred you have in your heart, you are coming at me. Let's go, let's go to Your Majesty together, there are some accounts, it's time to start figuring it out......!" ”
